Nulsh! Of course! If you resided here and didn't vote then I would have a problem. Did your wife see Bohemian Rhapsody yesterday? After we all go on about it you'll probably feel compelled to see it anyway...

buddah - in a holding pattern. my sis's step son reached out to me. my bro in law as of sunday hadn't woken up from surgery after two days which was not a good sign. my sister started to lose coherence, didn't know where she was and her kidney values were suddenly nonexistent. they put her back in the icu and were going to put her on dialysis if nothing changed. i heard absolutely nothing yesterday. i'm just sort of numb.

Back in the present here with you. Hopefully the people of Georgia find a way to get around the attempts to take their freedom. Similar tricks but a much longer shot in the less reported governor’s race where my brother lives in SC

Loved the Shonen Knife! I didn't actually hear them when I was in Japan. Most important Japanese music to me is Shibuya-kei or anything with Brazilian jazz influence. Or Polysics and Cherry Cokes for punk. But such a great whimsical feeling. Japan is great at evoking feelings of safe friendship through music.

That interview reminds me of this relative I have who works in the prison system, she spills the worst kind of vitriol and is totally oblivious to the systems weaknesses and failures. It's disheartening that someone whose whole life was supported by ill-conceived subsidy (I.E prisons in upstate New York) have no concern for people like Julius, and would not want to see them back on their feet and think this post-release state of affairs is acceptable. The Crime and Punishment stance in the U.S is too much for me. That's my maybe too political share of the day as I take a break from reading the Ottoman version of Leyla and Mecnun.

Happy Election Day fellow glisteners! I’m cheesy and ear to ear after going to vote and seeing my favorite student volunteering to check people in at my polling station. Civics teachers’ dreams are made of this

Alice from Fanwood:

Great interview w/Julius. Good memories of inspiration of The Dusty Show.

Weird aside: I lived in the town that Tivoli (Where the Republican candidate for Govenor in NY was mayor) mooched services off of. I have spoken to the man personally and its so odd to see all the news and ads with him in it!

Now, if Linda Lee was here she would deservedly berate me for being so dense!
Thanks for the update Colleen!

There part of me that wants to go to the polls today wearing a T-shirt with a radical political message. There’s part of me that wants to stay home because it’s become such a farce. There’s part of me that wants to learn to code in Russian so I can influence the election.
In reality, I’ll put on my old gray fleece jacket, walk over to the polls and quietly vote because that’s America.

If you live within 30 miles of Essex County, NJ, I can drive you to the polls today. Check carpoolvote.com to link with a driver. Your neighbor with a sprained ankle who can't drive? A senior who might slip on the wet leaves? Seriously, I'm driving for any reason.

I've been a District Leader (backdoor party pusher) for the fourth largest city in New York State for over twenty-five years. Poll watcher by day. Tonight, tallying local politicians' votes. Results by 11pm. Vote!

Voted in Bay Ridge. People consider this part of Brooklun “red neck” and racist, but I assure you there were tons of Democrats out at the polling site today. And the place was packed. Never had to wait in line before to vote in the 5 years I have lived here. Make this a blue wave!

Thank you for being here everyone, and for voting. I hope you'll keep coming back each day. I love seeing your names and comments on the board. I read them all later if I can't during the show, and I appreciate all your ideas, thoughts, etc! xoxoxox CP

One summer in high school, rather than assigning an all-school summer reading book, we all had to listen and write a report about Born to Run. Don't remember much about my report, but my band at the time did seize the opportunity to record a parody called "Born to Pun." We were very clever.

I picture you singing like nobody's listening !

Thanks for playing Zappa! Need more from FZ on WFMU methinks. And amazing how fresh the BAND (you know the deal) Alice Cooper ("discovered" by FZ in fact) "Elected" sounds FORTY FIVE freakin years later!!!!!!!! WTF?!

Fourscore and...seven minutes ago... we, your forefathers, were brought forth upon a most excellent adventure conceived by our new friends, Bill... and Ted. These two great gentlemen are dedicated to a proposition which was true in my time, just as it's true today. Be excellent to each other. And... PARTY ON, DUDES!
